WINE DESCRIPTION
Primo Estate Joseph Moda Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot is a masterful blend that brings Italian tradition to Australia’s renowned McLaren Vale. Crafted by Primo Estate, this wine is produced using the unique Amarone method, where Cabernet and Merlot grapes are dried to intensify their flavors. After gentle crushing, the wine is fermented in traditional open-topped concrete fermenters, then aged for 18 months in a mix of French and American oak barrels. This meticulous process yields a rich, concentrated wine with layers of character, blending the bold elegance of Cabernet and the plush texture of Merlot—a true celebration of heritage and innovation.
NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Primo Estate Joseph Moda Cabernet Sauvignon - Merlot is a remarkable wine that showcases the best of both Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot varietals.On the nose, you can expect enticing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, and plum, accompanied by hints of cedar, tobacco, and vanilla. These complex aromatics set the stage for a truly captivating tasting experience.
The palate is equally impressive, with a full-bodied and velvety texture that coats the mouth. The flavors of ripe dark fruits, such as black cherry and blackcurrant, take center stage, supported by well-integrated oak notes and a touch of spice. The tannins are smooth and well-rounded, contributing to a long and satisfying finish.
This wine is a great choice for those who appreciate a well-balanced and sophisticated red blend. It pairs beautifully with hearty dishes like grilled steak, roasted lamb, or aged cheese.
